This is a work in progress for my homemade ereader cover. I decided to use my broken septagram design from about a year ago, because it has many possible meanings and I like to tell people different things just to be difficult.

Marquetry has been an uphill climb for me. I started with a chessboard, and moved on to something incredibly complex in comparison. I’m glad I did the chessboard first, but goddamn.

My original design was too wudgy (technical term) for accurate cuts, so I’ve had to refigure some of the pieces and work them together gradually. I’ll probably also have to redo the outside circular pieces. By the time the middle was together, the geometry of those parts were too far out of true to recover.

I’ll post again when it’s finished, but it’s been such a long road to get this far that I felt like sharing.
